• _ . . <br /> Staff desires the ability to be more responsive to the citizens of the City by making a strong effort to <br /> improve the timeliness of necessary sidewalk replacement/ repair. Any opportunity to add sidewalk <br /> replacement volume will improve the condition of the City's sidewalks. <br /> The low bid for this proposed project was supplied by WAS CON Co. WAS CON Co. has completed <br /> three sidewalk projects for the City over the past finro years. Their work performance has been <br /> acceptable. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the execution of a contract with WAS <br /> CON Co. for the City's Sidewalk Replacement Project. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: � <br /> Bidding was closed on this project at 10:00 a.m. on May 19, 2006. WAS CON Co.'s bid was submitted <br /> with time and date stamped by the City Purchasing Division at exactly 10:00 a.m. A concern was <br /> raised that a 10:00 a.m. time stamp should be interpreted that the bid was late. A review by the <br /> Director of Engineering and Infrastructure and the Corporation Council determined that a bid was <br /> acceptable with a 10:00 a.m. time stamp. There are no other known objections to this award. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Steve Swanson, Director of Engineering & Infrastructure, <br /> at 424-2747 <br /> Matt Newell, City Engineer, at 424-2747 <br /> Travis Stanley, Civil Engineer I, at 424-2747 <br /> The Director of Engineering and Infrastructure, Steve Swanson, and City Engineer, Matt Newell, will be <br /> in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item.
